Dear Diary,
Today I finally learned the name of that guy with the ugly personality that I met yesterday when I was purchasing my school robes from Madam Malkin. His name is Draco Malfoy. Even his name seems repulsive. I did meet someone interesting on the Hogwarts Express though. His name is Ron Weasley and he gave me the card from his chocolate frog since it was one that he already had...Albus Dumbledore. I hope that I get placed in the same house as Ron. I wonder what Hogwarts will be like…
―Harry
P.S. Ron and I are in the same house...Gryffindor. I am so glad that I am not in Slytherin house. The only reason that I am not in Slytherin is because when I was wearing the Sorting Hat I thought, "anywhere but Slytherin." The reason that I didn't want Slytherin wasn't because it turned out the most dark witches/wizards in all of history but because I didn't want to be that close to Malfoy.
P.P.S. I wonder what house my mum and dad were in when they attended Hogwarts.
